External thunderbolt3 & built-in monitor black out on AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics

[You-Sheng Yang]

[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

Monitors black out when an external one connects via thunderbolt3 on AMD Ryzen
9 PRO 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics.

[Fix]

This can be fixed by upstream linux-firmware commit 253cc179d849 ("amdgpu:
Update DMCUB for DCN314 & Yellow Carp").

However, in linux-firmware/lunar and jammy, the commit history related to the
files to be updated often associated with many other more, they're now updated
with overwrites without cherry-pick ancestor commits along the history.

For linux-firmware/mantic, a simple cherry-pick would do.

[Test Case]

Connect an tbt3 featured external monitor (ASUS PA27AC) after boot to GUI.
Check if both the built-in and external monitors lights up as usual.

[Where problems could occur]

Update amdgpu firmware are error prone, verified on targeting series as
possible.

[Other Info]

While this affects linux-oem-6.1/jammy, as well as linux/lunar kernels, Jammy
and Lunar are nominated for fix.

========== original bug report ==========

When connect the tbt3 external monitor, both the build-in and the external monitor show black.

This can be fixed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/amdgpu/?id=253cc179d849fc82489773b2b553a49858d8725f.

While this affects linux-oem-6.1/jammy kernel, linux-firmware/jammy will be nominated for fix.

I do want to note; this updates both RMB (yellow_carp_dmcub.bin) and PHX (dcn_3_1_4_dmcub.bin). This is very intentional.

The original problem (from the linked originate-from-* bugs) is reproduced by AMD on both APUs and the fix is implemented in the firmware for both APUs.
